Mr. Anil
Iam not looking for this Work study this is something like a apprenticeship. The information which Iam searching is on the below subject
"WORK STUDY & EMP. PRODUCTIVITY
Work study is the systematic examination of the methods of carrying on activities so as to improve the effective use of resources and to set up standards of performance for the activities being carried out. Work study then aims at examining the way an activity is being carried out, simplifying or modifying the method of operation to reduce unnecessary or excess work, or the wasteful use of resources, and setting up a time standard for performing that activity."

Dear Sijith,

Work study is a form of Industrial Engineering. It was first introduced on the evolution of widespread industrialization for the study of processes an industrial worker had to adopt to complete an operation in manufacturing and how to simplify the processes to lessen the fatigue element of the workers to increase his efficiency and productivity. But now it is also being adopted for work measurement and to prescribe work standards in offices in the name work study.

However to be brief, Work Study is the systematic examination of the methods of carrying out activities such as to improve the effective use of resources and to set up standards of performance for the activities carried out by industrial workers or office employees to fix job standards. That also helps the management to know the actual requirement of workforce/ employees for certain jobs. Work study also helps in prescribing the ways and means to simplify the complex procedures and processes of work in order to enhance the productivity of the office employees or industrial workers.

Work study includes:

- job description/specification;

- method study;

- work measurement;

- time study by taking on job time tests;

The above comment from psdhingra sums it up nicely. To evaluate a process it needs to be broken down into small elements. Each element has a time or can be given a time, or can be timed actually and compared against a standard.
Tell us all what is wrong with this scenario:
An operator needs 15 parts to complete an assembly. Each time he needs an item he walks 10m to the storage rack to collect a part. This takes 4 min. How do you reduce the time?
